Lance Lynn couldn't provide the Cardinals depth in Saturday's loss to the Rockies, allowing four runs on seven hits over five innings.

Two of the four runs against Lynn came home after he coughed up a two-run home run to Nolan Arenado. He struck out five and walked three in the outing. The performance wasn't particularly impressive, but Lynn's been money for most of the season and currently holds a 2.89 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 129/40 K/BB ratio across 121 1/3 innings. A road outing against the Brewers awaits him next time he takes the ball. Aug 1 - 11:21 PM

Lance Lynn fired seven innings of one-run ball to earn the win on Monday against the Reds.

The Reds took a temporary 1-0 lead in the third inning on Jay Bruce's sacrifice fly, but were otherwise not able to muster an offensive against Lynn.

He'll host the Rockies this weekend. Jul 27 - 11:07 PM

The Cardinals scored two runs in the sixth to put him in position for the win. Lynn improved to 7-5 on the year and owns a 2.79 ERA and 111/33 K/BB ratio over 103 1/3 innings. He currently lines up for a start against the Royals next Thursday. Jul 17 - 11:57 PM

Matt Adams (quad) said he plans to begin light swinging within the next two weeks.

Adams underwent surgery in late May for a severe quad strain and the initial expectation was that he would miss the remainder of the 2015 season, but it now sounds possible that he could serve as a bench bat in late September and into October. "Seems like he’s getting a little bit more flexibility in what he is allowed to do, and that’s always a real positive for us to see," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said Wednesday.

Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak announced Thursday that Matt Holliday has a Grade 2 strain of his right quadriceps.

It's a recurrence of the very same injury Holliday suffered back in June. While he's looking at another extended absence, Mozeliak is "optimistic" that he'll play again before the end of the regular season. Stephen Piscotty will likely take over as the primary left fielder during his absence, though the Cardinals have options after Thursday's acquisition of Brandon Moss.

Jay has been meeting with hand and wrist specialists to try and get a better handle on his ailing left wrist. He apparently got some good news, as this is the first time this month that he's swung a bat. There remains no timetable for his return, though.

Adam Wainwright (Achilles) is no longer wearing a walking boot on his left foot.

It's not clear what the next step is for the right-hander. Wainwright is holding out hope that he could be available late this season after having Achilles surgery in April, but the Cardinals will almost surely hold him out until spring training.

Jordan Walden (biceps) will not come off the disabled list early next week as hoped.

Walden hasn't had a setback, but rather the Cardinals think he just needs to build up more arm strength. Their acquisition of Jonathan Broxton on Friday no doubt was related to Walden's stalled return.

The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Steve Cishek. Belisle had a setback with his elbow injury earlier this month and remains shut down. He now won't be eligible to return until late August.
